NEW: Puma StormShield – Built for the Harshest Conditions ❄️

When the mountains turn brutal, the Puma StormShield stands resilient. Designed for high-altitude expeditions, winter mountaineering, and ski touring, this bag is engineered to thrive where others fail.

🛡️ StormShield Shell: Our new weather-resistant shell fabric keeps moisture at bay, providing an extra layer of protection against condensation, spindrift, and snow cave drips.

🔥 Extreme Warmth: Packed with over 2lbs of 850+ fill power goose down, the Puma delivers an unmatched warmth-to-weight ratio, keeping you comfortable in temperatures as low as -25°F (-32°C).

⚖️ Light & Packable: Despite its expedition-grade warmth, the Puma remains ultra-packable at just 3 lbs 10 oz (1.65 kg)—because every ounce counts when you’re pushing into the alpine.

🏔️ For the Bold: Whether you’re summiting Denali, ski touring in the Tetons, or facing Arctic extremes, the Puma StormShield is your ultimate sleeping system for deep-winter adventures.

Now available. Ready to redefine cold-weather performance.

Challenge: the next time you're outside, take a minute to notice the stillness and your surroundings. While our gear is built for rugged adventure, we love appreciating the moments of rest and comfort all the same.
